Fire of the Covenant is the first book in the Dragon-Called series. It is based in the island country of Taran and follows Princess Willoe, and her twin brother Prince Rowyn, along with their cousins, Aeron and Casandra, as their true destinies are revealed and they pursue their individual journeys of discovery. As the story develops, both twins must learn about the Fire Within that controls them and how the Covenant, of a long-dead ancestor, has changed their lives forever.

In a story with a host of characters and multiple story lines, Fire of the Covenant begins an epic adventure of self-discovery, the passion of love and sacrifice, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness.

I found this book fantastic. Compelling and original storyline. The author layered a solid fictional history, deep character development, and exciting action into what I hope will become the foundation of an epic series. I can't wait to see what this author does in the future.

This is an engaging medieval fantasy novel well worth your time. "Fire of the Covenant" manages to go in unexpected directions while still hitting all the expected fantasy elements from wizards and dwarfs and dragons to expert swordsmen and charming ladies. There are four major protagonists, and each has an interesting role to play, an aspect which feels fresh to me. Scene to scene, there is always something to keep you moving forward into the story, always a reason to turn the page. I stayed involved in the story and in its world, and look forward to reading the next books in the series as they become available.

Peter Cruikshank’s Fire of the Covenant (Dragon called legend, book 1) is an outstanding debut novel that is sure to appeal to epic fantasy lovers of all ages.

It’s the story of Princess Willoe – who is much happier with a sword in her hand than socialising with the ladies at court; and her twin brother Prince Rowyn – who would rather be studying in his uncle Brom’s tower than swinging a sword on the training ground.…

I really enjoyed reading this book as well as the first book “Fire of the Covenant”. It is a wonderful story of bravery and friendship as well as good versus evil. This book is very well-written and a true epic fantasy. I would highly recommend this book to everyone looking for fantasy, or adventure with great characters and a very rich plot.…

This book is well-written with likable and well-developed characters. The action is believable and exciting, and even the fantastical seems possible in this world. The maps provide guidance and realism as characters travel place to place, and the descriptions of each location, character, and event make it easy to visualize. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy stories and is in 9th grade or older.…

This was the kind of book I didn’t want to put down. I found myself having to finish the chapter before I would. I liked the way the author was able to paint a picture without droning on and on with way to many unnecessary words, I appreciate the concise way this book is written.…

A very well-paced medieval fantasy. Complicated, well developed characters. A coming of age story that focus around the characters destinies. The world was well built and believable. Grand adventure, intrigue, magic, and secrets. It held all your favorite fantasy types dwarfs, elves, magic workers, dragons and goddesses. It was a long read, but well worth your time if you enjoy epic fantasy e.g.…

OK, I can do the normal thing and speak about character development, great writing, great story, but I’m not. What my review comes down to is this – I finished the book and was left wanting the the story to continue! I can’t wait for the next book. Actually I really need the second book!…

Having read the first book, I was very excited for the second.
I was a bit impatient, but it was well worth the wait.
The transition from first to second book was flawless.
Although, I’ve never been big on battles, this was written in such a manner that it wasn’t offensive or ‘draggy’.…

As intricately woven as Martin’s “Game of Thrones” and mystically enchanting as Rawling’s “Harry Potter”, Peter Cruikshank’s first novel is an amazing read. His style is so clear and the characters so real that I felt I was reading in living color. It is an encompassing tale of magic,and majesty, of dragons and adventure, that has a magnetic grip on the reader.…

I couldn’t wait to read the book I have literally been waiting decades to read. When I read a book, I know it is great when I can picture the story as if I am watching a movie – what the characters look like, sound like, their personalities; the scenes and surroundings.…

I couldn’t wait for the 2nd book to come out and it did not disappoint!! There were some surprising twists that were outstanding. It is seldom that I am shocked by a story line as you can usually guess what is going to happen. But I have to say that this book really kept me on my toes.…

Don’t let the cover fool you! I write that first because I am not a fan of this style of cover art!

However, “Fire of the Covenant” is a very well written, traditional epic fantasy! There is something in here for every reader of fantasy to enjoy – action, adventure, battles, magical creatures…even a smattering of romance.…
